sound of ‘Duh dum’start to build tempo and volume. If you think about it the ‘Duh dum’ sound mimics that of the one our heart makes and as the music picks up-tempo so does our heartbeat. As this tune starts so does the visual, it being the point of view of a shark swimming through seaweed. The audience is led to assume that the shark is looking for something because the music gets louder every second until it reaches its crescendo. This is what makes the audience sit at the edge of their
clip artfully uses editing techniques like long takes, wipes, split diopter, point of view shots, the zolly, and background score to intensify the suspense ridden impending shark attack without actually showing the shark. The scene utilizes long takes, point of view shots, split diopter, and the iconic Hitchcockian zolly shot to dramatize the events leading up to and subsequently, the shark attack itself.

The dialogue portion of the scene begins with a medium shot of Thornhill and Eve seated, while still keeping both in frame during the first half of their conversation. This allows the audience to see a measure of the body language in addition to the faces of the characters. Of note is how Hitchcock bookends the dining car conversation with point of view (POV) shots, yet the POV shot is not used during the conversation between Thornhill and Eve (the first is of Eve when

the film combine to make a prefect artwork. The shots in The 400 blows are edited together smoothly using the first person perspective to tell the audience a powerful story, which Truffaut did a great job doing that. The scene that stands out to me is Antoine’s jail transfer scene of the movie. It evokes a lot of power with little dialogue. It allows for the images speak for themselves as the film intended to be. The director also uses tracking shot a lot in The 400 blows. The camera sort of flow
and movement in the film will demonstrate how the director chooses to portray Sergio as a character, to offer a subject-objective view of the early years of the Cuban revolution. The quality of camera shots operates to individualize Sergio as a self-involved and emotionally isolated character. Through the use of medium close up, over-shoulder shot and point of view shot, the complex emotion that Sergio encounters with the leave of his family is expressed. At the beginning, the film introduces the

art of storytelling, framing every shot carefully to help further the plot and develop characters. The techniques of visual storytelling that Hitchcock implements in his films are not just meant to entertain; they all serve specific purposes in building his fictional universes. Hitchcock establishes the personalities of his characters by showing exactly what the characters see and hear as well as their reactions to their surroundings. Along with point-of-view shots, Hitchcock employs montage editing
an Academy Award winning film of 1942 saw director Michael Curtiz manipulate the camera in ways others had not. He uses the close-up, point-of- view, and creative shot motivation methods in his film starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, to create an American cinema classic. The first camera technique Curtiz uses to help narrate the film is the close-up shot. The close-up can effectively convey the story to the viewer without the use of excessive dialogue. In this instance, the viewer is introduced

Kaja Silverman writes in “Suture [Excerpt]” that the construction of the cinematic film as an object that creates a kind of anxiety for the viewer. Because the image is bound on all sides by the periphery of the camera, the viewer’s point of view is limited, reduced, and fixed (219-29). And because imaged are stitched together on the film stock into a series of images, a form of suturing is at play in constructing the narrative. Filmmakers get spectator to connect with the story by suturing them

A camera shot is the amount of space that is seen in one shot or frame. Camera shots are used to demonstrate different aspects of a film's setting, characters and themes.

An extreme long shot (animation on right) contains a large amount of landscape. It is often used at the beginning of a scene or a film to establish
society, but provides insight into a composer’s point of view on social concerns. The main social concerns explored in The Lunch Date and The Man Without a Head are prejudice by society against the homeless and identity, respectively, which are supported by various techniques throughout each film, including cinematography, sound, and characterisation.

Hitchcock uses point-of-view and eyeline matching to shot the majority of the movie, which was done in Jeff’s point of view. A point-of -view shot is when a shot is taken with the camera placed approximately where the character eyes would be, showing s exactly what the character would see. Eyeline matching, on the other hand is when the character is looking at a certain object, or another character and the director cuts the shot to show what it is they are looking at. Moreover
